Lance on sex: “I never got any complaints!”
Somebody at The Huffington Post took a break from politics and typed in this excerpt from the October Men’s Journal magazine profile of “alpha bachelor” Lance Armstrong, whose last three public girlfriends have been Kate Hudson, Tory Burch and Sheryl Crow. They typed it in before the article was available online, it excited them so much. Here we go:
These days he’s unapologetic about his reputation in the tabloids as a (kind of nasty word) hound, linked to designer and socialite Tory Burch, Ashley Olsen (whom he denies dating), and, until recently, Kate Hudson. “I’m a 36-year-old single guy who is completely open and honest with every woman in my life,” says Armstrong. “As long as you’re honest, and no one’s getting played or let down, then you’re being fair.”
Armstrong doesn’t go on a lot of real dates. “I think it’s hard for me, or for anyone in my position, to call someone up and say, ‘Hey, can I take you on a date?’” he says. “It’s never like that. I meet people casually, while hanging out with friends, so there’s less pressure.” Sex is something he enjoys, because he didn’t get much of it on the Tour. “I had sex if I had the energy. I wasn’t one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi,” says Armstrong. “But the fact is that if you are riding your bike five, six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion. You’re just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone, and a lower libido.” He grins. “But you know, I never got any complaints!”
Armstrong retreats from questions about Hudson, whom he dated for a few months. “I made a mistake to let the public into my relationship with Sheryl, even though it didn’t feel like a mistake at the time,” he says. “It put a lot of pressure on the relationship, and I will never do it again.” Some public outings can’t be avoided, though. “When Tory had a show, I would go to the show; when Sheryl had a concert, I’d go to the concert; and if — uh — a new lady has a premiere, I might go to the premiere. I’m there as a supportive partner, that’s my role. But sitting down and doing a bunch of photos, like I did with Sheryl, is just wrong, and I won’t do that again.”
It is hard to miss that most of these women are somewhat similar: down-to-earth blond lasses with Cheshire cat grins and small waistlines. Does he have a type?
“Everyone says that!” says Armstrong, moodily. “Everyone says I have a type! Of course I have a type. But doesn’t everyone have a type? So shut up!”
Um, isn’t that type a little like your mom? “Now, hold on a minute there, ” he says, laughing. “That’s just gross.”
